Episode 239: What I Wish I Knew When Starting My Business Part 1

When Karolina first started her business, she would reach an
uncomfortable edge every time she had to invest into it. 


Even the very first $20 domain name made her nervous. 


But she realized over time, that in the online coaching and
education business, you have some of the lowest expenses and
startup costs of any business model. 


You don’t have to invest in office space, get a lease, pay for
cost of goods, production or factories, tons of employees,
etc. 


Most traditional business models require $500,000 - $1,000,000 in
upfront investments to just get the business off the
ground. 


But the one thing she realized is the biggest and most important
investment?


Education and mentorship. 


Education into your skills and your business know-how. 


For Karolina, her vision for Euphoric started to take shape while
she was working full-time. Hear how much she saved from her
paycheck every month, how nervous she was to invest in each
program, certification, or coaching she took, and how she’s come
to realize that continually investing in your skills and business
know-how is the lifeblood of your company. 


Furthering your skills (as a coach) and your business and
marketing know-how is literally the most important investment in
the business, and the only real big expense in an otherwise
low-cost business model.


Over the years, Karolina has poured over $200,000 into education,
coaching, and personal development, with phenomenal returns
grossing well over a million dollars in revenue! 


But how did she get there? In this episode, we’ll start at the
beginning and normalize each stage of creating a wildly
successful online business.


You’ll hear her favorite hacks for making your first business
investments, and how to get your partner on board. 


Believing in your vision fiercely is the type of commitment that
will lead you to unparalleled growth and transformation.
